Definitions

  • a compact feed metering device is obtained when the motor for moving the feed unit and the device for measuring the magnitude of the torque during movement and for deducing, from the magnitude of the torque measured, the weight of the fodder and/or drink present in the feed unit, are integrated in the animal identification device.
  • the device for determining the degree of pivotability of the feed unit and for deducing, from the degree as determined, the weight of the fodder and/or drink present in the feed unit comprises a load sensor, the feed unit bearing on the load sensor.
  • the load sensor is preferably included in the animal identification device.
  • a preferred embodiment of a feed metering device is characterized in that the feed metering device is provided with means for deterring an animal that wishes to use the feed unit. Just because the animal identification device is able to recognize a particular animal, said device is particularly appropriate for deterring an animal that wishes to use the feed unit at an undesired point of time by correctly controlling the deterring means.
  • a disadvantage of the known feed metering devices is that an animal has quickly found out where the fodder and/or drink can be obtained, and regularly goes to the feed metering device and puts its head into the feed unit, even when it has already received its portion of fodder and/or drink. This results in a disturbance of the feeding of other animals.
  • the means for deterring an animal preferably include a loudspeaker for producing an animal-frightening sound. Certain animals have appeared to be highly sensitive to certain sounds, so that a loudspeaker is very appropriate for deterring such animals. Moreover, such a loudspeaker may be used for producing calming or stimulating sounds when an animal uses the feed metering device correctly.
  • the means for deterring an animal may include a voltage emitting device for emitting an animal-frightening electric voltage. Sound and light have proved to be effective for deterring unwanted animals, but have the disadvantage of being observable at greater distances from the relevant feed metering device. Animals that undesirably visit a feed metering device often make contact with the feed metering device, usually with their noses. By linking with a voltage emitting device precisely those components of the feed metering device that are regularly touched by the animals, it is possible to deter a particular animal very locally.
  • the means for deterring an animal are at least partially integrated in the means for weighing the fodder and/or drink present in the feed unit.
  • a safety supporting bracket for the feed unit In order to prevent for example the load sensor from being damaged in the undesired event of a defect, there is provided a safety supporting bracket for the feed unit.
  • the fifth embodiment of a feed metering device differs from that of Figure 4 by the position of the hinge pin 59 about which the feed unit 50 rotates.
  • the hinge pin 59 is positioned close to the roll 56 for driving the feed unit 50 and measuring the torque, for measuring very small differences in the amount of feed.
  • the closing means 55 for closing the entrance opening 51 pivots about the axis 57.
